Berean Emphasized Bible

As work on the BSB progressed, the desire arose to further and more fully express the emphases, nuances, and style of the original texts.

The Berean Emphasized Bible is under construction for both the New and Old Testaments, and will be a wonderful tool for readers, students, teachers, and pastors alike. The translation is designed to bring out the full meaning, intensity, and clarity of the original Greek and Hebrew sources.

Translation Process: Greek and Hebrew Sources >> Interlinear Bible >> Literal Bible >> Study Bible >> Annotated Bible

All sources are freely available and linked through to the original source, making the multi-tiered translation process an “open translation.” In other words, the source behind the translation is clear and available to all. The tools and databases include resources such as Strong’s Lexicon to make the translation process transparent even to those without extensive training in Greek and Hebrew.

The three levels are also provide support by enhancing the expression of meaning on multiple levels. For example, since languages often do not translate in a one to one fashion, in many cases the multiple tiers express a fuller or corresponding meaning, as well as both a “word for word” and “thought for thought” rendering.
